University staff on Friday became aware that over a week ago someone anonymously left vulgar and highly offensive messages on a whiteboard in a campus classroom. We want to remind our community that language and/or behavior that relies on negative stereotypes or is demeaning toward individuals or groups is absolutely unacceptable for George Fox students and employees, whether it occurs in person, through social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) or anonymously.

Violations of these expectations are taken very seriously by the university, especially when directed at another because of their race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, or disabilities. We want to remind everyone that George Fox has harassment, discrimination, and bias-related incident policies that can be viewed here.

Any incidents of harassment, discrimination or bias should be reported immediately to the student life office. We would also encourage community members to hold one another accountable for what we say and do in this important area.

This next week, we celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day.

This is an annual celebration where we promote communities to join in the effort to celebrate girls and women to participate in sports, knowing that the skills, confidence, strength and character gained through sports is what helps us make us all great leaders!

We will be hosting our fourth annual NGWSD coach panel discussion at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 1, in Canyon Commons 101-102. Join us for an evening of discussion led by our panel guests, Laura Schott (women’s soccer), Emily Davis (volleyball), Carol Laube (baseball) and Jen Burke (lacrosse).

Snacks, chapel credit and special giveaways will be included!

This event is open to everyone, not just women. It will be a great evening of discussions about how sports have helped lead them forward in all areas of life. We look forward to seeing you there!

Some questions include:

• As athletes and women, we all face tough situations. What was a difficult event in your life and how did you trust in God to get you through it?
• Did you have your life figured out upon graduation? What noticeable growth did you go through after graduating?
• How may a team environment help you grow in your faith?
• What do you think are collective goals for us as women in sport to further our success and continue growing our presence as athletes/coaches? How should we be focused on growing/honoring women in sports?
• What was the process like letting go of your role as an athlete?

Do you want to have a chance to win a $500 scholarship? Look no further than the donor-funded scholarship! If you complete your donor-funded scholarship application by Wednesday, Feb. 15 (the early bird deadline), you will automatically be entered in a drawing for an extra $500 scholarship. You can apply now here.

Scholarship amounts range from $500 to $15,000 for the 2023-24 academic year, and there are over 200 available for George Fox students.

Have any questions about the process or application? Contact Brennan Rains at brains@georgefox.edu.

Are you in the process of discerning your vocation? The Office for Spiritual Life and the School of Theology are partnering with the Beacon Hill Friends House Vocational Discernment Project to offer a workshop for students to help them discover their vocation.

The workshop will be grounded in Quaker practices of discernment but is open to all. We will meet from 2 to 5 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 3, in Hoover 211.

For more information, please contact Jay Miller at jaym@georgefox.edu.

Did you know that the Maker Hub has a bead roller?

The Maker Hub’s Mittler Brothers Bead Roller is located in the Machine Shop and is used for forming and reinforcing sheet metal. This machine works best when operated by two people, one person to turn the handle and another to guide the metal. It works by placing metal between the rollers (dies). The material is then formed to give extra strength and rigidity.

The bead roller can also be used to create artistic patterns on sheet metal. There are many different types of rollers to use, and they can be changed out depending on the needed application. Check out this video to see how it works!

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

Are you looking for love? Look no further. You can become a contestant in the Dating Game!

In addition, here are some more events coming up soon:

• Black History Trivia Kickoff: Friday, Feb. 3, at 7 p.m. in Canyon Commons
• Sadie Hawkins: Friday, Feb. 17, and Saturday, Feb. 18, at 8:30 p.m. at Portland Spirit
